Northeast Ohio businesses, organizations, and communities are already feeling the impacts of the Trump administration's executive orders on immigration. On January 20th, the Trump Administration halted refugee resettlement--stranding some refugees within hours of their scheduled travel to the US. And then on Sunday, January 26th, Cilantro Taqueria in Cleveland Heights confirmed that ICE agents took six employees of the restaurant into custody. They're reportedly being held in Geauga County with 52 other detainees. This news has shaken both undocumented and documented immigrants in the region. Additionally, Ohio legislators have also moved to block local municipalities from forming sanctuary cities.
Join the City Club to discuss how their communities are faring, sort through recent executive orders, and unpack future policies and legal battles on immigration and refugee resettlement.
